The CISCO UCSB-MLOM-40G-03, commonly referred to as Cisco UCS VIC 1340, is a high-performance, modular Lan-On-Motherboard (LOM) designed specifically for use in Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) B-Series Blade Servers. This state-of-the-art interface card offers a flexible and scalable solution that meets the connectivity needs of demanding data centers. The VIC 1340 provides an impressive 40Gbps of bandwidth, thanks to its dual 40Gb Ethernet or Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) capable ports. It is engineered to support virtualization environments, featuring Cisco's unique virtual interface card technology. This technology allows administrators to configure up to 256 PCIe virtual interfaces, including virtual network interface cards (vNICs) and Host Bus Adapters (HBAs), all on a single module. This level of integration and flexibility makes it ideal for deployments in environments requiring high bandwidth, low latency, and efficient use of infrastructure. Furthermore, the VIC 1340 supports dynamic QoS and is fully integrated with UCS Manager, offering streamlined management and automated provisioning capabilities that significantly reduce administrative overhead.
